PREFACE 

Some  five  years  ago  the  editor  had  occasion  to  examine  the  then 
newly  issued  volume  of  "Who's  Who  in  America,"  and  in  doing  so 
was  struck  with  the  number  of  names  of  members  of  tlie  fraternity 
which  occurred  therein.  In  1912.  being  called  upon  to  review  a 
later  edition  of  tlie  same  book,  he  made  a  list  of  the  members  of  the 
fraternity  whose  biographies  were  in  that  volume  and,  without  at- 
tempting seriously  to  compare  each  name,  was  surprised  to  find 
that  more  than  four  hundred  of  the  names  in  the  book  were  those  of 
Betas.  The  striking  fact,  however,  was  that  in  many  instances  the 
catalog  of  the  fraternity  frequently  gave  only  the  name  and  occupa- 
tion of  the  person  referred  to.  while  a  much  fuHer  account  of  his 
career  appeared  in  such  book. 

The  membership  of  the  fraternity  has  increased  so  ra])idly  that 
it  has  been  necessary  to  restrict  the  information  concerning  each 
member  listed  in  our  catalog  to  tlie  lowest  terms.  The  result  is  that 
there  is  nowhere  to  be  found  outside  of  compilations  like  "\\'ho's  Who 
in  America,"  or  "Men  of  Science  in  America,"  an  adequate  ))resenta- 
tion,  even  in  briefest  form,  of  the  careers  of  many  of  our  members. 
Consequently,  it  occurred  to  the  editor  that  it  would  be  a  good  idea 
at  the  present  time,  in  order  that  the  fraternity  might  become  aware 
of  the  achievements  of  its  members,  to  compile  a  book  somewhat  on 
the  lines  of  "Who's  Who  in  America"  (omitting  the  vital  statistics) 
and  restricting  it  to  those  listed  on  our  rolls,  but  including  (Kceased 
members.  Therefore,  the  catalog  of  the  fraternity  was  examined 
with  a  view  to  determining  who  might  properly  be  imludcd  in  sucIj 
a  list,  although  naturally,  a  sonu'what  wider  range  of  selection  was 
permissable  than  that  which  had  been  employed  in  the  older  publi- 
cation. 

There   were   listed   all   executive   oHicers    of   the    Inited    States 


♦  BETAS  OF  ACHIEVEMEXT 

Government  and  of  the  different  state  governments  (excepting  per- 
sons occupying  merely  clerical  or  subordinate  positions),  all  United 
States  senators,  congressmen  and  bureau  chiefs ;  the  presidents  of 
colleges  of  higher  education ;  the  deans  of  schools  of  universities  and 
colleges,  having  different  departments,  and  persons  having  the  full 
rank  of  professor  in  colleges  of  tlie  first  grade.  There  were  also 
included  j^ersons  who  had  attained  the  rank  of  major,  or  above,  in 
the  military  service  and  the  rank  of  lieutenant  commander  and  above 
in  the  naval  service ;  all  ministers  and  ambassadors  to  foreign  coun- 
tries, and  United  States  consuls  at  the  more  important  foreign  posts. 
Also  men  who  had  served  two  or  more  terms  in  a  state  legislature 
or  who  in  addition  to  other  j)olitical  preferment  had  been  members 
of  a  constitutional  convention  and  all  who  had  been  presiding  offi- 
cers of  either  the  upper  or  lower  house  of  a  state  legislature ;  also 
the  mayors  of  large  cities  and  the  executive  officers  of  important 
corporations.  In  addition  there  were  included  editors  of  periodicals 
of  general  circulation  and  of  the  more  important  technical  journals, 
autliors  of  works  of  reference  or  of  two  or  more  books  of  other 
character,  and  a  number  of  miscellaneous  j^ersons  not  readily  classi- 
fied but  wlio  were  deemed  wortliy  of  inclusion  on  general  principles 
of  j)rominence. 

The  plan  of  the  proposed  book  was  submitted  to  the  fraternity 
and  its  publication  was  authorized  by  the  convention  of  1913.  As 
a  preliminary  step,  there  was  prepared  a  biograi)hical  memorandum 
for  each  person  whose  name  had  been  selected  to  be  included  and 
there  was  sent  to  all  who  were  not  known  to  be  deceased  a  copy  of 
sucli  memorandum  concerning  himself  with  the  request  that  such 
memorandum  be  corrected  and  returned.  In  the  great  majority  of 
cases  this  was  promptly  done,  but  some  names  have  been  included 
where  the  memoranda  has  not  liad  tlie  benefit  of  such  personal  re- 
vision. Photographs  were  also  requested,  but  this  request  was  so 
generally  disregarded,  that  we  Iiave  been  obliged  to  secure  the  bulk 
of  the  illustrations  in  the  book  from  other  sources.  Several  persons 
sent  jtrints  from  half  tones  or  engravings  which  could  not  be  mt-chan- 


PREFACE  S 

ically  reproduced  with  success,  and  others  sent  poor  pliotos  whicli 
could  not  be  used,  and  consequently  the  selection  of  photographs 
may  be  regarded  as  a  purely  arbitrary  one  for  which  the  editor  alone 
is  responsible. 

There  are  doubtless  in  the  book  many  errors  of  inclusion  and 
exclusion.  They  are  unavoidable  in  a  compilation  of  this  kind. 
For  instance,  we  might  find  a  man  listed  as  "President  and  General 
Manager  of  the  Amalgamated  Universal  Machinery  Com))any," 
when  actually  he  has  a  desk  room  in  a  small  office  building  in 
a  village,  and  another  man  listed  as  "Sixth  Vice  President  of 
the  General  Oil  Company  and  Local  Superintendent,  "  and  rind 
that  he  has  charge  of  a  business  of  millions  of  dollars  a  year 
and  has  under  his  jurisdiction  an  army  of  thousands  of  men. 
The  necessary  knowledge  to  make  the  right  selection  is  not  within 
the  grasp  of  any  one  person.  It  may  very  well  result,  therefore, 
that  persons  widely  known  within  their  own  communities  have  been 
omitted  and  those  relatively  obscure  have  been  included.  If  atten- 
tion is  called  to  such  fact,  a  record  will  be  made  of  them  for  future 
use,  if  occasion  for  such  use  should  ever  arise.  The  statements 
are  doubtless  inaccurate  somewhat  in  detail,  due  to  forgetfulness, 
and  the  usual  percentage  of  error  arising  from  the  transcription  of 
hundreds  of  names  with  constantly  recurring  identical  descriptive 
phrases  and  the  usual  errors  of  typesetting.  The  fraternity  is  to 
be  congratulated  on  the  magnificent  showing  it  is  enabled  to  make,

INTRODUCTIOX 

"Betas"  is  the  name  affectionately  api>lied  to  themselves  by  members 
of  Beta  Theta  Pi,  one  of  the  college  fraternities  having  lodges  or  cha])ters 
in  the  higher  institutions  of  learning  in  the  United  States  and  Canada.  This 
fraternity  was  organized  in  the  summer  of  1839  by  John  Reily  Knox  and 
eight  other  students  at  Miami  University,  Oxford,  Ohio.  It  was  intended 
by  its  founders  to  be  an  association  of  men  devoted  to  the  cultiva- 
tion of  the  intellect  and  who  should  in  its  various  chapters,  or  branches, 
become  so  closely  associated  that  they  would  form  in  effect  a  widespread 
brotherhood  throughout  the  country.  It  was  made  in  analogy  to  the  few 
similar  collegiate  organizations  existing  elsewhere,  a  secret  society,  but,  as 
a  matter  of  fact,  the  secrecy  was  purely  nominal  and  its  aims  and  pur- 
poses might  have  been  freely  disclosed  without  fear  of  criticism  or  com- 
ment. It  was  not  intended  at  first  that  the  association  should  be  confined 
to  undergraduates  in  college,  but  might  include  associations  of  young  men 
who  had  had  an  equivalent  education  and  who  were  otherwise  in  sympathy 
with  the  purposes  and  aims  of  the  organization,  l)ut  it  soon  became  re- 
stricted to  college  men  from  force  of  circumstances. 

The  association  was  rapidly  extended  from  Miami  to  other  colleges.  Its 
eft'orts  for  the  first  twenty  odd  years  of  its  existence  were  largely  devoted 
to  extending  its  membership,  ])lacing  new  chapters  in  strategic  locations, 
and  endeavoring  to  maintain  them  in  existence  against  ojijiosition  of  differ- 
ent kinds  and  in  the  face  of  the  small  attendance  at  many  of  the  colleges 
and  the  necessarily  smaller  number  of  persons  from  whom  it  was  felt  its 
members  should  be  selected.  In  membership,  the  chapters  rarely  exceeded 
twelve  in  number  at  any  one  time  and  were  frecpK'ntly  less  than  seven.  They 
had  no  permanent  homes  at  the  respective  colleges  where  they  were  located 
and  the  members  met  in  each  other's  rooms,  frequently  in  secret,  to  avoid 
observance  by  the  college  authorities.  They  had  little  money.  The  system  of 
government  was  loose  and  inefficient,  and  comminiication  between  the  chap- 
ters was  desidtory  and  infrequent. 

Some  of  the  chapters  were  obliged  to  overcome  college  opposition  by 
admitting  to  their  ranks  college  ]irofessors  or  administrators,  and,  singular 
to  say,  some  of  the  men  so  admitted  became  the  staunchest  adherents  of 
the    fraternitv.      Amidst    all    tlicsc    difficulties,    however,    the    fraternity    de-

veloped  a  characteristic  spirit  and  a  quality  of  friendship  which  is  unique, 
and  even  now,  when  it  numbers  nearly  four  score  chapters  scattered  from 
the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  and  from  Wisconsin  to  Texas  and  has  enrolled 
nearly  twenty  thousand  members,  it  has  maintained  these  characteristics. 
Willis  O.  Robb,  Ohio  Wesley  an,  '79,  has  expressed  these  attributes  probably 
better  than  anyone  else.   At  the  convention  of  1890  he  said: 

"Brethren  of  the  Beta  Theta  Pi  Fraternity:  The  fraternal  relation 
that  is  to  some  of  us  so  dear  a  present  joy,  to  others  so  hallowed  a  mem- 
ory, is  to  all  of  us  something  more  than  we  are  wont  to  think  it.  It  con- 
sists not  in  forms  or  rites,  in  organizations,  or  bodies  of  laws ;  these  are 
mere  maciiinery.  Nor  does  its  chief  glory  lie  only  in  the  several  friendships 
it  produces  and  shelters,  dear  as  these  are,  unrivalled  as  they  must  always 
be  in  freshness  and  in  youthful  ardor.  Behind  and  beneath  both  these 
aspects  lies  its  more  essential  character,  its  capacity  of  culture.  Its  rich- 
est gifts  are  not  friends,  but  the  desire,  the  power  and  the  habit  of  mak- 
ing friends.    These  constitute  the  real  fraternity  spirit." 

The  same  speaker  fifteen  years  later  again  expressed  himself  as  fol- 
lows: 

"Again,  the  Beta  is  distinguishable  and  distinguished  from  all  other 
kinds  of  fraternity  men  whatsoever  by  Just  a  little  warmer  and  stronger, 
just  a  little  tenderer  and  more  enduring  fraternity  feeling  than  any  of 
them  can  attain  to.  For  it  was  always  so.  I  do  not  in  the  least  know 
how  it  liappened,  nor  why  it  persisted  after  it  happened,  but  a  long  time 
there  came  into  Beta  Theta  Pi  a  fraternity  spirit  that  was,  and  is,  and 
apparently  will  continue  to  be,  xmique.  We  know  it,  who  are  inside,  and 
they  .see  and  record  it  who  are  outside  the  Beta  pale.  Whether  young  or 
old,  in  college  or  out,  from  the  small  school  or  the  great  university,  we 
are  conscious  of  a  heritasre  of  genuine  frnternalism  that  has  not  been 
vouchsafed  in  like  measure — I  say  it  deliberately — to  anv  other  of  the 
great  college  fraternities.  And  we  cannot  doubt  that  in  this,  as  in  otlier 
respects,  our  'future  will  copv  fair  our  past,'  and  that  in  the  world  of 
fifty  years  from  now,  as  in  that  of  yenrs  a<ro — as  in  tlint  tliat  lies  around 
us  to-day — tlie  first  mark  of  a  Beta  will  be  his  Beta  si)irit." 

Down  to  the  outbreak  of  the  war  in  1801,  the  fraternitv  had  estab- 
lished chapters  whicli  were  then  living  at  the  following  places:  Miami 
University,  Oxford,  Oliio,  Western  Reserve  College,  Hudson,  Ohio,  Ohio

Carolina,  Davidson  College,  North  Carolina,  Ogletiiorpe  University, 
Milledgeville,  Ga.,  and  Bethany  College,  Bethany,  West  Virginia. 
In  addition,  it  had  established  chapters  at  Transylvania  Uuiversity, 
Lexington,  Ky.,  Harvard  College,  Cambridge,  Mass.,  the  College  of  New 
Jersey,  Princeton,  N.  J.,  Williams  College,  Williainstown,  Mass.,  and  the 
University  of  North  Carolina,  Chapel  Hill,  N.  C,  which  were  then  inac- 
tive. It  had  published  one  catalog,  had  held  conventions  in  1842,  1847,  1848, 
I85I,  1854,  185(),  1858  and  1860,  the  time  of  which  was  mainly  taken  up 
with  amendments  to  the  constitution.  Its  system  of  goverrunent  (or 
non-government)  was  a  feeble  administration  by  the  undergraduate  chap- 
ters in  turn.  The  only  thing  that  held  the  fraternity  together  was  the  fra- 
ternal spirit  developed  by  contact  among  its  members. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  comminiication  l)etween  the 
northern  and  southern  states  was  severed.  Our  records  show  that,  with  the 
exception  of  a  few  clergj^men,  practically  every  man  who  had  been  initialed 
by  the  chapters  at  Hampden-Sidney,  the  University  of  North  Carolina, 
Cumberland,  the  University  of  Virginia,  Washington  College,  (Va.),  South 
Carolina  College,  Davidson  and  Oglethorpe  enlisted  in  the  Confederate 
army,  while  those  who  had  been  admitted  to  the  Centre  and  Bethany  chap- 
ters divided  equally  between  the  two  armies.  North  and  South.  Most  of 
the  northern  chapters  found  their  ranks  depleted  by  the  enlistment  of  their 
undergraduate  members  in  the  Union  army,  and  a  year  later  the  Western 
Reserve  chapter  became  in  a  body  part  of  a  company  of  an  Ohio  regiment. 

During  the  war,  but  little  was  doiu*  to  either  extend  the  fraternitv  or 
further  its  interests  and  but  two  chajiters  were  established,  one  at  Beloit 
College,  Wis.,  which  lived  but  three  or  four  years,  and  one  at  the  I'nited 
States  Naval  yVcademy,  then  located  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  which  lived  scarcely 
a  year.  A  convention  was  held  in  18(54  at  which  six  cha])tcrs  were  repre- 
sented, and  one  in  18(55,  at  wliicli  niiu'  chajitcrs  were  represented. 

At  the  close  of  the  war,  the  southern  soldiers  returning  to  college,  re- 
established most  of  the  southern  chapters,  and  some  new  ones  were  organ- 
ized. But  the  feeble  administration  of  ante-bellum  times  continued  until 
1879,  and,  although  the  fraternity  established  a  ntuuher  of  cliaptcrs  and 
increased  the  number  of  attendants  at  each  cha])ter  and  ini|)roved  its  ad- 
ministrative features  by  the  establishment  of  the  first  fraternity  Journal  in 
1872,  the  in.stitution  of  annual  conventions  (instead  of  those  at  less  frequent 
intervals)  in  1866,  and  the  division  of  the  fraternity  into  districts  for  ease 
in  supervision,  it  did  little  or  nothing  else.  Some  of  its  chapters  became 
inactive    at    im])ortant    locations    and    the    cliaptcrs    which    liad    been    estab-

lished    at    institutions    which    have    since    attained    prominence    were,    when 
founded,  not  in  colleges  of  the  best  grade. 

The  chapters  establislied  from  1863  to  1879  and  which  are  now 
active  are  as  follows:  The  University  of  Iowa,  Iowa  City,  Iowa, 
Wittenberg  College,  Springfield,  Ohio,  Westminster  College,  Fulton,  Mo., 
Iowa  Wesleyan  College,  Mount  Pleasant,  Iowa,  The  University  of  Chi- 
cago, Chicago,  Denison  University,  Granville,  Ohio,  Washington  Uni- 
versity, St.  Louis,  Mo.,  The  University  of  Kansas,  Lawrence,  Kan., 
University  of  Wisconsin,  Madison,  Wis.,  Northwestern  University,  Evans- 
ton,  111.,  Dickinson  College,  Carlisle,  Pa.,  Boston  University,  Boston, 
Mass.,  Johns  Hopkins  University,  Baltimore,  Md.,  University  of  Cali- 
fornia, Berkley,  Cal.,  Kenyon  College,  Gambier,  Ohio,  and  the  chapters 
which  were  established  during  this  period  and  which  are  not  now  active 
are  as  follows:  Monmoutii  College,  Monmouth,  111.,  Virginia  Military  In- 
stitute, Lexington,  Va.,  Richmond  College,  Richmond,  Va.,  University 
of  Wooster,  Wooster,  Ohio,  Howard  College,  Marion,  Ala.,  Randolph- 
Macon  College,  Ashland,  Va.,  Trinity  University,  Tehuacana,  Texas, 
the  College  of  William  and  Mary,  Williamsburg,  Va.,  A'irginia 
State  College,  Blacksburg,  Va.,  Butler  College,  Irvington,  Ind.,  and  the 
University  of  Mississippi,  Lexington,  Miss.  It  should  be  added  that  the 
institution  now  called  the  University  of  Chicago  is  in  reality  a  different 
institution  from  tiiat  at  wliich  our  chapter  was  established  originally, 
but  most  of  tlie  fraternity  chapters  located  there  have  considered  it  a 
legitimate  successor  to  the  old   university. 

In  1879,  two  events  occ\irred  whicli  materially  affected  tlie  future  of 
tlip  fraternity,  namely  the  ]mblicati()n  of  tlie  constitution  of  tlie  fratern- 
ity .ind  the  rciii()\'a]  therefrom  of  all  its  ])revious  esoteric  features,  and 
tlie  union  witli  Alpha  Sigma  Ciii.  a  small  but  vigorous  eastern  fratern- 
ity. It  is  wortliy  of  remark  that  no  diapter  of  tlie  fraternity  estab- 
lished since  1879  is  now  inactive. 

'i'lic  union  witli  Alpha  Sigma  Ciii  lirouglit  into  tin-  fraternity  well 
establislied  chapters  at  Rutgers,  Cornell,  Stevens,  St.  Lawrence  and 
Maine.  Almost  immediately  tlicrcafter,  chapters  were  established  at 
I'ennsylvania,  Colgate,  t^nioii  .uid  ('olnml)ia,  and  \\ci-c  revived  at  Urowii, 
Harvard,  Western  Reserve,  University  of  Iowa  and  Cumberland.  The 
establishment  of  chapters,  however,  was  the  very  least  of  the  stcjis  in 
advance  made  by  the  f i-,itcrriity  at  that  time.  Its  administration  was 
])erfected  and  tlie  maniucMicnt  of  its  affairs  iiraet ieall\'  iilaced  in  the 
hands  of  a  single  executive,  who,  although  called  the  general  secretary, 
was    ill    rc'ility    flic    head    of    tlic    f  ra  t  crnil  \  .       A    new    and    ])r<)per    catalog

was  ))rc|),irf(l  .uul  |)iil)lisli(>(l,  a  song  hook  was  issued,  tlic  journal  of  tlic 
fraternity  was  ini])r()ve(l  and  strengthened,  and  in  practieaiiy  every  di- 
rection the  progress  of  the   fraternity  was  marked   hy   improvement. 

From  1883  until  1890  a  few  chapters  were  established,  namely  at 
Amherst,  Vanderbilt,  University  of  Texas,  Ohio  State,  University  of  Ne- 
braska, University  of  Denver,  Syracuse,  Dartmouth  and  Minnesota.  These 
chapters  only  succeeded  in  gaining  admission  into  the  fraternity  after 
strenuous  and  long-continued  effort.  A  new  sense  of  ])ower  and  dignity 
in  the  fraternity  and  a  feeling  of  confidence  in  its  future  and  great  re- 
spect for  its  efficiency  made  it  conservative  in  granting  to  petitioning 
bodies  tiie  privilege  of  a  charter,  and  during  this  period  many  more  pe- 
titions were  rejected  than  were  granted.  The  chapter  at  Dartmouth  had 
been  a  local  society  called  Sigma  Delta  Pi  and  had  existed  at  Dartmouth 
for  about  thirty  years  and  attained  an  enviable  reputation.  All  tlie  other 
chapters  mentioned  had  first  i)een  organized  as  local  societies,  and  it  may 
be  said  here  that  since  that  time  no  chapter  of  the  fraternity  has  been 
established  whicii  has  not  undergone  the  test  of  a  previous  successful 
existence  as  a  local  organization. 

In  1890  a  union  was  had  with  the  Mystical  Seven  fraternity.  This 
society  was  founded  in  1837  at  Wesleyan  and  had  established  clia]iters 
at  Emory  College  and  the  University  of  Georgia  in  Georgia,  Centenary 
College  in  Louisiana,  Genesse  College,  which  afterwards  became  the  Uni- 
versity of  Syracuse,  the  University  of  Mississippi,  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia, Cumberland,  the  University  of  North  Carolina,  and  Davidson  Col- 
lege. It  was  a  select  organization  whose  cha])ters  had  been  kept  small 
in  numbers,  but  whose  administrative  system  had  lieen  bad  and  which, 
like  Beta  Theta  Pi  in  its  early  days,  had  allowed  its  chapters  to  become 
inactive  witiiout  nnich  attempt  at  supervision  or  control.  The  personnel 
of  the  Mystical  Seven,  however,  had  been  of  a  high  quality  and  similar  to 
that  of  the  Beta  Theta  Pi,  and  the  two  fraternities  found  no  difficulty  in 
consolidating  their  membership,  both  undergraduate  and  alumni.  Tlic 
chapters  of  the  Mystical  Seven  at  Emory,  Georgia  and  Centenary  Col- 
lege have  not  been  revived.  The  other  chapters  were  revived  by  the 
union,  although  those  at  Mississippi  and  Cumberland  are  now  inactive. 

Since  1890  the  administration  of  the  fraternity  has  been  eft'icient,  the 
supervision  of  the  chajiters  has  been  carefully  attended  to,  they  iiave  im- 
proved steadily  in  scholarship  and  a  system  of  compulsory  attendance  at 
conventions  based  upon  a  well  administered  financial  system  has  resulted  in 
securing  a  imiformity  in  the  ipiality  of  the  incinhcrshiii  and  a  iiomogcitcity 
in    tastes,   attributes    and    aspirations    wiiicli    lias    made    of    tlic    fraternity    a

unified  living  force  in  the  college  life  of  the  country,  and  it  might  be  added 
in  its  civil  and  social  life  as  well. 

During  the  period  since  1890  chapters  have  been  placed  at  the  University 
of  Cincinnati,  University  of  Missouri,  Lehigh,  Yale,  Stanford,  West  Vir- 
ginia, Colorado,  Bowdoin,  AVashington  State,  Universitj^  of  Illinois,  Purdue, 
the  Case  School  of  Applied  Science,  Iowa  State  College,  the  University  of 
Toronto,  the  University  of  Oklahoma,  Colorado  School  of  Mines,  Tulane 
University,  the  University  of  Oregon,  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technol- 
ogy, South  Dakota,  and  Utah,  and  revived  at  Williams.  The  chapter  at 
the  University  of  Missouri  was  the  last  surviving  chapter  of  Z  4>,  the  only 
fraternity  ever  founded  west  of  the  Mississippi. 

During  this  period,  also,  there  began  the  building  of  chapter  houses, 
changing  the  organization  of  each  chapter  from  that  of  a  college  secret 
society  in  the  nature  of  a  lodge,  to  a  well  ordered  family  living  under  its 
own  roof  and  becoming  a  responsible  body  of  men  having  a  recognized 
place  in  the  life  of  each  college.  At  the  present  day  forty-nine  of  the 
chapters  own  their  houses  and  of  the  remaining  twenty-six  all  but  four 
occupy  rented  houses.  When  we  say  they  own  houses  we  mean  they  are 
owned  by  some  organization  of  their  alumni. 

The  chapters  which  own  houses  report  their  respective  valuations  to 
be:  Amherst,  $11, .500;  Beloit,  .$17,000;  Bethany,  .$3,000;  Bowdoin,  .$12,000;

tricts,  each  under  the  supervision  of  an  assistant  to  tlie  freneral  secretary 
called  a  district  ciiief.  Kach  undergraduate  nienil)er  contributes  aiuiual 
dues  which  are  used  in  defraying  tiie  general  expenses  of  tiie  fraternity 
and  which  serves  to  bring  to  each  convention  at  least  one  delegate  from 
every  chapter. 

The  publications  of  tlie  fraternity  are  its  catalog,  periodically  issued, 
a  combined  history  and  handbook,  its  song  book  and  its  journal.  The  latter 
is  published  eight  times  a  year,  having  six  regular  numbers  issued  during 
the  college  year  and  two  special  numbers,  one  containing  tiie  minutes  of 
the  convention  each  year,  and  the  other  containing  tiie  annual  re- 
ports of  the  chapters  and  a  complete  list  of  the  undergraduate  membership, 
and  other  facts  of  interest  about  each  chapter.  This  latter  number  is  sent 
to  all  members  of  the  fraternity  whose  addresses  are  known. 

The  insignia  of  the  fraternity  comprise  its  well  known  badge,  its  flag, 
and  coat  of  arms  and  a  coat  of  arms  for  each  chapter  designed  on  a  proper 
heraldic  system.

but  the  task  proved  to  be  too  great  witliin  tlie  time  at  our  disposal. 

And  so  we  content  ourseh'es  at  this  place  witii  a  mere  list  of  some  of 
the  Betas  in  a  few  very  prominent  classes,  leaving  it  to  some  future  fra-

practically  at  the  same  time,  and  as  Judge  Harlan  was  living  at  the  time
